The First Descendant Makes Major Change to Season 1 Release Schedule

Key Takeaways

  • Nexon makes another player-friendly change in response to fan feedback, adjusting The First Descendant Season 1 update schedule to only 2 updates.
  • Players were unhappy with the original staggered content release so Nexon is merging Updates 2 and 3 into a single big update on October 10.
  • Future seasons may see less staggered updates to deliver content sooner with Season 2 still planned for December with a new dungeon and companion.

As a die-hard fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of The First Descendant, I must say that Nexon’s latest move to adjust the Season 1 update schedule is nothing short of refreshing. The game has been my go-to source of excitement and camaraderie with fellow players, and the quick response to fan feedback shows a level of commitment that resonates deeply.


In light of fan feedback, Nexon has revised the release schedule for Season 1 of “The First Descendant,” reducing it to just two updates and adjusting the launch date accordingly. Since its debut in July, “The First Descendant” has taken off like a rocket, becoming a massive success for Nexon. As a free-to-play game, it attracted a large number of players.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve been consistently impressed by how Nexon maintains the vibrancy of “The First Descendant.” They’re diligent about releasing updates regularly and making adjustments that cater to the gaming community. For instance, when a popular XP farm was discovered, rather than diminishing its effectiveness, they boosted other locations instead.

Initially, Nexon planned to release Season 1 content in three separate updates, but the response from players was less enthusiastic than anticipated. The players criticized the time-limited access to certain content, such as Descendant Freyna’s ultimate form, which was initially scheduled for a later update. In response to this feedback, Nexon decided to compress Season 1 into just two updates. The start date remains August 29, but the final update will now be on October 10 instead of the previously announced date. This adjustment is aimed at satisfying player expectations not only for Season 1 but also for future seasons, as Nexon felt that a monthly content release might have been too much for fans to handle.

The First Descendant Season 1 Release Schedule

  • Part 1 – August 29
  • Part 2 – October 10

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the first major update for our game closely resembles the initial announcement during The First Descendant’s Season 1 kickoff, dropping on August 29. Expect a fresh dungeon, Hailey Scott joining our sniper ranks as the latest Descendant, a revamped battle pass, and more exciting features.

At present, we’re unsure about how this schedule adjustment might affect future seasons. It seems that Nexon is working towards providing less staggered updates per season, which could mean players will receive content more quickly once Season 2 begins. Based on the 2024 seasonal plan for The First Descendant, it’s expected that Season 2 will debut in December, introducing a “Mega Dungeon” along with a utility companion, as well as the usual additions of new characters, weapons, and intercept battles.
